Univ. of Arts, Bremen - Kill Your Darlings

This book isn't out yet but they are taking orders at the moment and there are some good friends involved, as teacher (Peter Bialobrzeski) and photographer (Sebastian Burger). You might want to check it out and show your support by ordering early.

What's happening in conceptual photography in Bremen? You'll find the answers within a well-illustrated catalogue of work by 20 former students of Peter Bialobrzeski who finished at the University of Arts Bremen between 2005 and 2011. Their renowned professor's credo "Kill your darlings" means that you occasionally have to discard a favourite photograph in order to build a coherent series. An exhibition project of the same name was curated by Ute Noll / Stuttgart. The bilingual catalogue will be published by Kerber and can be pre-ordered for a reduced price (€28) until the end of August.

The buffet is open...

Buffet is a collection of special editions, book + print sets, artist's books, print/book trades and various interesting ways in which photographers are packaging and selling their work. Some are sold through galleries and publishers, some by the artists.
